We here in Kentucky have a database-driven Resource Center housed in the Kentucky Virtual Library. This resource database is being filled with ideas and lesson plans from Kentucky adult educators. The submissions are also screened by a subject matter expert associated with the particular topic being addressed. This adds a terrific component to the quality of the database. In addition, the users who search the database have the ability to search across the LINCS resource database -- Kentucky Virtual librarians helped to make these resources compliant for a single search capability! It is a wonderful environment to explore. Please feel free to visit it at http://www.kyvl.org/html/ae/ae.shtml All the best, Randolph ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Randolph Hollingsworth, M.A.T., Ph.D. KYVU, Council on Postsecondary Education 1024 Capital Center Drive, Ste. # 320 Frankfort, KY 40601-8204 502-573-1555 or 877-740-4357 (toll-free) FAX 502-573-0222 www.kyvu.org; www.kyvae.org I'm just a simple girl In a high-tech digital world... - Jewel Kilcher, 2003 -----Original Message----- Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 08:55:57 -0500 From: "Nixon S. Griffis" <ngriffis@bellsouth.net> To: <nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov> Subject: RE: Teacher's Resources Exchange List Members, I am curious just how many active Adult Ed. teachers are on this list. I run a daily, three hour, night class for adults who want to get their GED or for people who need a certain high score on an assessment test. Could you send in a short message of who you are and what kind of environment you work in. What are your needs? What have you developed to solve some of your needs that other teachers might utilize. I am hoping that this list can expand to be a place where teachers can exchange resources, not just ideas. Teachers are working in isolation. Everyone has to be inventing their own wheel. It makes for a lot of wasted work, not to mention the morale killer of working outside of a group support system that regular school teachers have access to, in albeit a small way. I see the biggest demand in Adult Ed as a need for a structure made up of effective templates that automates the daily administration of a teacher's classroom. Teacher's can no longer teach enough because administration takes so much time and effort. This is especially true in Adult Ed due to its' special characteristics. I would be interested in hearing from actual teachers who would like to developed this strand of dialog further. Are you out there? Nick Griffis Adult Education Inlet Grove H.S.
